Hall Technologies 8-Button Programmable Keypad for HIVE with PoE - HT-HIVE-KP8

All In One User Interface and AV System Controller

The Hive-KP8 is a key member of the Hive AV family. Just like it’s sibling, the Hive Touch, it is both a standalone control system as well as an 8 button user interface. It supports both single and macro commands, with customizable LED indicators for each button. Designed for simplicity, it operates without additional software, and is powered via PoE. Ideal for various environments, it ensures efficient AV management with its durable design and extensive command capacity.

• Complete integration with Versa-4k and the Hive Node Relay, RS-232 and IR Kits.
• No software required. All set up can be done easily from the KP8 web page.
• No internet or cloud required. It can be set up on an isolated AV network.
• All that is required is a standard POE network switch.

The Hive-KP8 is a key component of Hive AV control. Just like the Hive Touch, it is both an All-In-One standalone control system as well as an 8 button User Interface. Each button can be programmed to issue TCP/Telnet/UDP commands to IP-enabled devices on the same network, with activation possible via keypad button presses, the embedded webpage, or through user-programmed day/time schedules.

Buttons are configurable for single command execution with a single press or for launching a series of commands as part of a macro. Additionally, they can repeat a command when pressed and held or toggle between different commands with consecutive presses. Up to 16 macros can be programmed and recalled for sending TCP/Telnet messages or commands to various IP-enabled and IoT systems, including AV distribution, factory automation, security systems, and keypad access controls.

Each button is equipped with two programmable color LEDs, allowing for customization of the on/off state, color, and brightness. The Hive-KP8 can be powered using the included power supply or via PoE (Power over Ethernet) from a compatible LAN network.

Featuring an integrated battery-backed clock/calendar, the Hive-KP8 facilitates command execution based on specific day/time schedules, such as automatically powering off and, on the network,-connected devices each evening and morning, respectively.
